In Reply to: I don't think medical bills can go on your credit report - Not sure though

I went ahead and paid the full amount remaining on that one so it didn't get reported on my credit but a friend of mine had a serious illness a few years back and all of her medical claims forced her into claiming medical BK. Her credit was ruined and she's still struggling to raise her credit scores.
